The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for nominee Brett Kavanaugh have been going on all day, and many students have spent every minute between (or during) classes to watch Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Judge Kavanaugh testify. If you need a change of scenery, here’s where you can go:

The law school: Maybe you can meet/converse with some nice people to restore your faith in the legal profession, or give you tips on admissions! You’re basically a legal expert after eating, sleeping, and breathing this hearing for the last 10 days.

JJs: Food is always a good call in stressful situations. While the nation’s highest court faces uncertainty, you can at least find solace in mozzarella sticks.

A music practice room: What better use for soundproof booths if not to yell expletives at a CSPAN livestream?

On Low Steps: Let the fresh air wake you up and close your laptop every so often to people-watch everyone going by who hasn’t been glued to their computer screen for 8 hours straight.

Milstein Center, Floor 6: This one is genuinely a really great option! The Barnard Center for Research on Women is providing snacks and a venue for people to watch the hearing together. You can hang around Milstein afterward and try to do work while one browser tab remains open on Twitter.

Remember that today is really hard for many people, so be sure to take care of yourself and others. If you need further support, please call:
